(4) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Edward Miller. A simple text identifies components of blood--red and white cells, plasma, platelets--and shows how blood circulates oxygen throughout the body. A list of fast facts and tips for maintaining a healthy heart are included. Some will be amused by Miller's images of Dracula and his Igor-like assistant, who help relay this information; others will find the device unnecessarily macabre. Reading list.

(3) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Holly Keller. This revised and newly illustrated book presents basic facts about the heart and circulatory system from the perspective of a young child. Keller's watercolor and pen diagrams and cartoons show cheerful kids checking pulses and listening to and learning about the hearts of family, friends, and animals at rest and during exercise. Two pages of activities follow.

(3) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Edward Miller. New digital illustrations set this book, first published in 1970, in a retro fifties diner with the counterman demonstrating the digestive process. Photomicrographs are included to show some internal organs. Specific comparisons and simple activities and experiments with easily obtained materials clearly demonstrate digestive functions.
